3D-imaging technologies provide measurements of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems'
structure, key for biodiversity studies. However, the practical use of these observations …

Tropical savanna ecosystems play a major role in the seasonality of the global carbon cycle.
However, their ability to store and sequester carbon is uncertain due to combined and …

Abstract Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 storm, snapped and uprooted canopy trees,
removed large branches, and defoliated vegetation across Puerto Rico. The magnitude of …

The Amazon forest is fire sensitive, but, where fires were uncommon as a natural
disturbance, deforestation and drought are accelerating fire occurrences, which threaten the …

Old-growth forests provide a broad range of ecosystem services. However, due to poor
knowledge of their spatiotemporal distribution, implementing conservation and restoration …

Accurate estimation of carbon storage of forest ecosystem has significant implication for
mitigating global warming. In order to get accurate estimation of carbon storage of forest …

Tropical forest degradation (eg, anthropogenic disturbances such as selective logging and
fires) alters forest structure and function and influences the forest's carbon sink. In this study …

Downed woody material (DWM) is a unique part of the forest carbon cycle serving as a pool
between living biomass and subsequent atmospheric emission or transference to other …

Abstract Coarse Woody Debris (CWDs) are constantly exposed to the natural decomposition
process of wood, which can lead to a change in its physical–chemical properties. However …

The Atlantic Forest fragments have suffered from the impacts of climate change, resulting in
the increased production of coarse woody debris (CWD), which needs to be evaluated in …
